[Explanation] Chisel, axe and saw, wood, stone and iron, well-rounded and well-rounded, marvelous...Recently, the 2528 anniversary of the birth of Saint Luban was held in Qufu, Shandong. Many descendants of the class bowed and sacrificed flowers to the statue of Luban and jointly commended the sacrifices to the workers. Saint luban.

There are still many descendants of Luban’s craftsmanship spirit and skills, including Qiao Yibing, the non-inherited inheritor of Jinan Qiao’s woodworking skills.

  I think Gongzuzi is not only our Shandong, he is also an outstanding representative of the country and the world.

His spirit of creativity, innovation, and invention not only played a major role in ancient times and made us Chinese glorious for thousands of years, but also in our modern society, whether it is China or abroad, this spirit is also very important. Worth promoting.

  [Explanation] On June 20, the reporter saw in Qiao Yibing's studio that the beautifully-shaped Luban pillows, Luban locks, case tables, and bookshelves were neatly arranged.

At this time, Qiao Yibing is burying his head in making a Luban pillow with a history of more than 2500 years. The whole production process does not require a nail, all of which are spliced ​​by the tenon and tenon process.

Qiao Yibing said that among the many wood products, he has only been in love with Luban since he was a child.

  Since I was five or six years old, I followed my father and my father as a carpenter. The Luban pillows and Luban stools made by my father are quite amazing in their structure.

In 2001, I entered in-depth research. I think that Luban pillow is not only the embodiment of the wisdom and skills of our ancient Chinese people, but also the embodiment of our excellent traditional culture.

  [Explanation] A small Luban pillow takes the mortise and tenon technique to the extreme. Its design contains the wisdom of the ancients and the essence of Chinese traditional culture, such as one life two, two life three, three life all things, etc., seemingly loose in structure, But they are connected everywhere.

What is worrying is that this ancient technique that has been passed down for thousands of years is now very few masters.

Different from other descendants of the class, in order to better pass on Luban's skills, Qiao Yibing combined his accumulated experience in art painting for more than ten years with traditional Luban skills, and innovated many modern aesthetics and practical value. Lu Ban pillow works.

  The traditional shape of the Luban pillow has been separated from the lives of the people for a long time. How to make more people interested in it? It has to have traditional inheritance, and it has to be very exquisite in shape, structure and craftsmanship to attract everyone to it. Interest and attention.

In this case, I have tried a lot of craftsmanship, including the use of hand-painted, snail, inlaid gold and silver silk, colored painting and other forms, so that more people can understand the role of Luban pillow, including the culture behind it.

  [Explanation] After six or seven years of hard work, Qiao Yibing has innovated more than 10 models of Luban pillow series with new structures while inheriting the tradition, and applied for 8 Chinese national patents, making it energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and convenient to carry the foldable Luban pillow series. Enter the home life of modern people.

Qiao Yibing told reporters that the reason for his efforts to innovate the Luban pillow was because he felt that the descendants of the Banmen in Luban’s hometown did not sufficiently excavate and promote this cultural heritage, and the reputation was far less than that of other provinces.

  Our Shandong's craftsmanship is not bad at all. Why can't our inherited works and products go to (full) China and go to the world? This requires many efforts.

On the one hand, our inheritors continue to create better works, continue to innovate, and continue to create.

On the other hand, we also hope that our media and the government will promote more, because it is a link, it can gather craftsmen from all over the world and the whole country together to commemorate him and study him. This is a very good deal. Cultural wealth.
